The available research results should be viewed in light of the rapidlychanging products being developed and offered by the various major publishers. That caveatnotwithstanding, we review the available recent literature that studied digital or online textbooks.In a recent review of the research on e-books (i.e., digital or PDF versions of traditionaltextbooks), researchers found that the greatest barrier to the e-book format was “culturalacceptance”1.

Significant discoveries with implications for design education have been made in the pastdecade which has provided a foundation for changes in undergraduate education. It was our hopethat this methodology and these findings will contribute to the research foundation of secondaryeducation design thinking which may lead to pedagogical improvements. Fundamental toeducational philosophy is the requisite potential to improve students’ critical thinking abilities.Through a study of freshmen and senior engineering majors, Atman and colleagues 7 concludedthat the students’ ability to generate quality designs improved.
